"NOISY" travellers who set up camp on a disused factory's car park have left the area.

The vans and caravans arrived on the former Lotus Lightweight Structures, Williamson Road, off Newtown Road, on Tuesday.

Police could be on site on Friday afternoon but the travellers had moved one.

Broken glass, bags of rubbish and fast food wrappers were strewn across the factory's car park when they left.

One neighbour, who asked to remain anonymous, said: "All I can hear is banging and crashing over there.

"All I can hear is the kids playing then just loads of crashing and banging noise also very loud generator.

"The site is always normally tidy there.

"They have been causing problems for local businesses." 

Another, who also asked not to be named, said: "They arrived on Tuesday and then the police turned up.

"The police are here again today - there's been two police cars."

West Mercia Police was approached for a comment but did not reply.
